Letters Patent No. 90,442, dated M'a/y 25, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN DETACHBLE CALKS FOR HORSESHOES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it 'ma/y concern.-

Be itl known that I, KINGSTON GODDABD, of Richmond, in the county of Richmond,vand State of New York vhave invented a new and improved Detachable Galk for Horseshoes; aud I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a top view of a horseshoe to which my i the `horseshoe in. thelnauner hereinafter more fully described. Y

A represents a horseshoe, which is constructed and secured to the horses foot in the ordinary manner` B is the caik, which is made' to lit upon the body of the shoe, as shown in figs. l and 2.

The inner or hooked upperarln, b, of the calk B, hooks over the inner upper edge of the shoe A, and the outer upper arm, b, of the said calk extends up along the outer edge 0f the shoe, and along the outer side ofthe horses hoof, being so formed upon its inner side, that the calk may be placed upon and removed from the shoe A, while the said shoe is fast upon the horses foot.

The calkB is secured in place upon the shoe A by the screw C, which passes through the arm bz of the calk B, in a downwardly-inclined direction, so that its pointor forward end may come 'in contact with the outer edge of the upper side of the shoe A, as shown in g. 2, so as to securely fasten the calk to the shoe,

the said screw being made of such a length that its i head will project very little, if at all, upon the outer side of the arm b. f y Upon the lower side of thecalk B is formed the arm, or calk, b3, that comes in contact' with the ground.

The calk b3 may be formed upon the outer part'of the lower side of the calk B, as shown in iig. 2, orit may be formed further inward, so as' to be directly beneath tbe body of the shoe A. This latter position I prefer, as more firmly supporting the horses foot. When no longer required, the calks B can be readily detached, by simply turning out the screw O.

' Having thus described my invention, l A

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The detachable calk B, constructed and secured to the shoe A, substantially in the. manner shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

The above speciiication of my'invention signed by;

me, this 19th day of April, 1869.

KINGSTON GO'DDARD;
